Some have mentioned that it would be interesting to know which group posters to this thread are from, so if you feel the inclination please include this with your reply.
I received an email from someone who collects scales and weights, he said that number 244 (the spherical slotted weight that unscrews into two pieces) is an old ice weight. I did a lot of searching on the web and couldn't find anything on ice weights, so I emailed him asking for some more info but haven't heard back yet. So if anyone can shed some light on this, please let us know, or you have any antique books maybe you could take a look to see if they are described therein.
